Chapter 226: Marred with tragedy
Alora found herself lingering on the balcony of her room, cradling a mirror delicately in her hands. Her gaze was drawn to her own reflection, fixating particularly on her eyes. With a gentle touch, she traced the contours of her eyes, before letting her hands fall back into her lap.
Today was the day when her training was supposed to start, but the day was fraught with an array of tasks that demanded Magnus’s attention.
Understanding the weight of his responsibilities, Alora chose not to impose further, allowing him the space to attend to his duties first.
She recalled how Elliot attacked her once he turned into a new vampire. Her eyes didn’t work at that time. Putting the mirror aside on the swing, she looked at the sky, covered in the dark clouds. The atmosphere was cold because of the constant raining. And the downpour started again.
Amidst that, Alora thought, ’Stella, you left without answering many of my questions. The Lunar God hasn’t even come once to justify me the answers. What can you expect from a person with no knowledge of her own eyes? A strong witch is out on a hunt for me. I have no idea how I will protect everyone around me. At least, you should have guided me.’
Alora’s posture was one of defeat, her head bowed low as she absentmindedly twiddled her fingers. "I can’t impose my troubles on Magnus. His plate is already overflowing with responsibilities," she whispered to herself, gently swaying on the swing, her feet dangling above the ground.
Suddenly, a wave of determination washed over her. She halted the swing and rose to her feet. She resolved to visit the prison, seeking the assistance of Prince Izaak if necessary.
As she entered the room, she found Magnus, still lost in the realm of sleep, a testament to his exhaustion. Careful not to disturb his much-needed rest, she tiptoed out of the room, setting off to meet Prince Izaak.
Upon reaching the grand manor of Prince Izaak, she was met by the stern gaze of the guards. Recognizing her, they granted her entry without a word.
